The above table indicates t-ratio between mean scores of two groups is found to be 0.74 in favour of hosteler girls. The
calculated value is much lesser than table value. Hence difference is matter of chance and does not represent true
difference. Thus our hypothesis “There exists no significant difference in the self-concept of hosteler boys and hosteler
girls ” can‟t be rejected. In other words the impact of environment does not vary with sex. Both sexes feel the effect of
deprivational environment to almost same extent.

The above table indicates t-ratio between mean scores of two groups is found to be 0.30 in favour of non-hosteler girls.
The calculated value is much lesser than table value. Hence difference is matter of chance and does not represent true
difference. Thus our hypothesis “There exists no significant difference in the self-concept of non-hosteler boys and non-
hosteler girls ” can‟t be rejected. In other words the impact of environment does not vary with sex.
We conclude environments have its impact but it does not vary strongly with respect to sex.
